Travel Documentation and Custom Duty: Citizens of Canada need only to present proof of citizenship – preferably a passport or birth certificate with the raised seal – in order to enter St. Kitts-Nevis.  If the birth certificate is used, it must be accompanied by a government issued photo ID (a drivers licence, for example) showing the same name.  Where applicable, documentation of a legal name change (for example, a marriage certificate) must also be presented.  Citizens of the United States, however, are required to have passports in order to re-enter that country.  As such a valid passport is a required travel document when travelling to the Caribbean.
